Acts 4:23-5:42 - Our faith is most often exposed (and refined) in the face of trials and hardships. Our resolve to Jesus' mission is even more so tested when we face opposition. But the early church knew where to look when things got hard and through their prayers the Holy Spirit produced a community of love, grace, and holiness.
More than a common-interest group, social group, business, or even industry, the Church is the means by which God keeps His promise to rescue and redeem all of this broken world. When we understand, therefore, the presence we have constantly still with us and the power still at work through us we can join in with the very earliest Christians to see the Kingdom of God continue to come on earth as it is in heaven.
